Summary

New homes come with many modern conveniences, but there is a depth of character in old homes that is hard to replicate in new construction. It is no secret that I have a love for older homes, so I’m excited to bring my friend Paige back on the podcast to chat with me all about why we both choose to live in old homes. Not only do we talk about why we love them, we dive into how you can approach your own purchase and renovation. Even if buying an old home is not on your radar, stay tuned until the end of our conversation because Paige gives some incredibly valuable budgeting and planning advice that can apply to anyone’s home!

In this episode, we cover:

Why would someone want to buy an old house over a newer one?
What to look out for when taking on the restoration of an old home
Weighing whether an old home purchase is right for you
The factors that make an old home so charming
How our mindsets have changed in regards to building homes today
Designing and furnishing your home in a way that honors its original craftsmanship
Major red lights and green lights when evaluating an old home for purchase
The trouble with trying to force modern home features into an older home
A few modern upgrades that are truly worth it
A genius budgeting system that helps you tackle your goals and plan for the unexpected
A foolproof method for breaking down large projects into attainable, daily action steps

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today I'm having on my friend Paige from farmhouse
0:05.8	vernacular. She has been on my YouTube channel before. She's been on this podcast before.
0:11.2	We're going to talk about our favorite topic or one of our favorite topics, especially together,
0:15.8	our favorite topic. That is old houses. There are some great moments throughout this that are
0:20.9	practical, but then also us just basically nerding out about old houses. So join us for this conversation.
0:27.9	My name is Lisa, mother of seven, and creator of the blog and YouTube channel farmhouse on Boone.
0:33.5	Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little
0:38.7	mom and entrepreneur life along the way. Hey Paige, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Good. I'm pulling up
0:51.1	my outline, but it feels kind of formal for my friend Paige, but oh, I know. Can't we just chat?
0:59.3	Which we can, but I want to make sure we hit on all of the way off subject if we just chat.
1:04.4	Yeah, which we might anyways, but that's totally okay. So let's start with intros. For those who don't
1:10.2	know you, let's talk about your or tell everybody about your YouTube, your Instagram, your blog.
1:17.1	You also have a podcast that goes deeper into what we're going to be talking about today. So that's
1:21.9	another good thing to check out. Yeah. So I'm Paige. I run farmhouse vernacular. I've got a YouTube,
1:27.9	a blog, Instagram podcast, pretty much everywhere. And I started it because about five years ago,
1:34.4	my husband and I moved to some property in rural Kentucky with a farmhouse built around 1906.
1:41.0	And I just started documenting and sharing. And it's just kind of expanded from there. And I like
1:46.7	antiquing and thrifting. And I talk a lot about efficiency. One of the things I'm most known for
1:51.2	is my super bold color choices because I can't do neutrals to save my life. So I always go really
1:57.7	bright and really bold with all of my rooms. And yeah, that's kind of how we interacted, but we
2:03.9	met on Instagram. Yeah. Yes. We did many years ago at this point. And your podcast is vernacular
2:10.6	life. I think you said that. Did you say that? Yes. Okay. I did not say that, but it is the vernacular
